Hi Denise,

I've been managing vacation rentals for several years in Big Bear. I also own one. My advice is make sure it is 3+ bedrooms. The smaller places just don't rent well, because people can go to a hotel cheaper. Also, the closer to the lake, the better. Everything in Big Bear will rent well in the winter, so it really doesn't matter where you are. But, people want to be by the lake in the summer. Spring and Fall are pretty slow and won't see many rentals.

I know several great realtors in the area. Call me or PM me for their info, if you like. Lots of great places for sell right now. Good luck!
